In most cases, users who want to convert glb to obj only want a simple 3D geometry model rather than complicated 3D content, typically used for data transmission or 3D printing.
GLB is more suited for modern web-based applications requiring efficient loading and complete packaging of 3D models, while OBJ is ideal for 3D design, modeling, and printing due to its simplicity and wide compatibility.
GLB file format
A variation of the GLTF (GL Transmission Format), GLB (GL Transmission Format Binary) is a binary file format used to efficiently load and transmit 3D models in online and application development. It represents 3D models and scenes.
OBJ file format
OBJ, or Wavefront Object, is a text-based file format originally created and used by Wavefront Technologies. Today, it is one of the most popular computer-aided design and 3D printing formats and is commonly used to represent 3D geometry.
Steps how to convert glb to obj with Blender
To convert GLB files to OBJ file format you can use Blender, a strong, free, and open-source 3D production suite:
If you haven't already installed Blender, download it from the official Blender website, install it on your system, and launch it.
Import your .glb file
Use the File ► Import function in the top menu, select the glTF 2.0 (.glb/.gltf), and go to the location of your file to import it.
Inspect and edit the imported model
You can verify the model to make sure it has been imported correctly once the. glb file has been imported into Blender's 3D viewport. You can make various tweaks or rotate, scale, and pan the model across the environment to observe it from different angles.
Export the model to OBJ
Once you’re satisfied with the model, use the File ► Export and select the Wavefront (.obj) option to continue. There are a number of export choices available in the export window.
For a basic conversion, it may be best to leave them at their default settings if you are unfamiliar with the details; for more experienced users, you can adjust these settings to suit your needs. After naming your file and selecting the destination folder to save the OBJ file, click the Export button to save it.
